Silicon is an abundant element in the earth's crust, accounting for 28% of the total. Water and water vapor have very little solubility in silicon, so water and water vapor quickly form a surface protective layer of silicon dioxide. Silicon combines with other elements to form various types of silica and silica. The concentration of soluble silica molecules is critical to the aquaculture industry as it affects (and limits) diatom growth.
HI705 Silica SiO2 LR Colorimeter is an instrument used to measure low concentration silica (SiO2) content in water samples, where "LR" stands for "Low Range". This instrument is commonly used in drinking water treatment, environmental monitoring and industrial production processes. HI705 Silica SiO2 LR Colorimeter is based on the chemical reaction between silica and a certain reagent to produce dyes or compounds, the concentration of which is proportional to the silica content in the water sample. The concentration of silica in a water sample is determined by measuring the optical density, or shade of color, of the stain.
It is suitable for measuring lower concentrations of silica in water samples, covering the concentration range of common water bodies.
With high precision and accuracy, it can provide reliable measurement results.
It can complete the measurement in a short time and is suitable for applications requiring fast feedback.
It is widely used in drinking water treatment, environmental monitoring, industrial production and other fields.
It is simple to operate, does not require complicated operating steps, and is suitable for laboratory and field testing.
